I've just been noticing that the backs of my hands are getting all veiny. Like I remember my mom's looking when I was small and noted the difference between her hands and my own smooth, young ones.

Sigh... No doubt the age spots will be next. Guess I might as well get used to it. :-P

A shame that physical youth is so brief, instead of lasting as long as our mental / spiritual youth.

I'm glad I'm not the only one... :) Mine aren't veiny, but the skin is beginning to get thinner and a bit wrinkly. Just like Mom's looked when she was my age - I see her hands so well in my memories.

Yep. "Huh. These are mine?"
